get an agp slot fan that sits in a spare slot hopefully beside the videocard heatsink to pull hot air from card out of back of computer. does the video card have a fan on it & is there a card right beside the videocard heatsink??

you know the blank brackets that are held by a screw on the back of the case at the end of each slot whether pci or agp. a fan is attached to 1 of those brackets that has holes in it for the air from the fan to pass thru.

the 1 in the box is the power supply fan & it blows the hot air out of the power supply & the computer case. the 1 on the case is a case fan blowing air out of the case if located on the back or pulls air into the case if located on the front of the case. the 1 on the silver thing should be your cpu heatsink fan & it blows air into the heatsink. check this link & at the bottom you'll see what a system blower looks like. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_Akasa.html
